The Ludlow Hotel, New York

Everything. The staff was engaging, generous, and easy going.

Nothing

I have stayed at the Ludllow a few times now, and it never disappoints! Great rooms, restaurant, staff & location

I looooved my stay at the Ludlow. I genuinely screamed when I saw my room - I’m not sure if I got an upgrade, maybe because it was the middle of December and freezing, but I booked a standard room and got a massive terrace with it. The room itself didn’t feel much bigger than the same class in comparable hotels at first, but everything was considered - for one, there was actually space to open one’s suitcase, everything was beautiful, sparkling clean and comfortable, big well lit mirrors, stylish bathroom with plush robes, good natural light in general. The staff was wonderful. And the view from the rooftop terrace is worth it in its own right.

Breakfast service felt a little slow perhaps.

We loved everything about the hotel. We thought it was a great location and easy to get to areas we wanted to explore such as Soho, Greenwich etc. Staff were brilliant and very attentive.

I can't think of anything.

I always stay here when I visit my daughters.great location great food nice staff.

Great location , right opposite Kats diner which was a bonus to beat the queues 😁

Nothing - all was great !

Everything about this hotel is wonderful

All good Not great

Ordering room Service should be easy I like to talk to a person

It’s a fantastic hotel with easy access to some of the city’s coolest neighborhoods. The bathrooms are so impressive. Hotel’s free umbrellas came in handy on a rainy day. Roof top is free for guests and worth a stop for the view. I’ve stayed here several times and will be back again.

If your room is facing Ludlow on the weekend, you may hear some of the late night action at street level.

This place really hits different. I chose it because it’s part of Design Hotels, and I was genuinely amazed from the moment I arrived. The room was beautifully decorated, well-equipped, and clean, and the bathroom was something special. I was given a high floor, and the view was spectacular. You can tell the entire hotel was designed by real professionals — the attention to detail is impressive. I felt comfortable and welcomed throughout my stay. The staff were professional yet warm, which made everything even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The only thing that made my stay a bit less comfortable was a strange, constant noise in my room — almost like an AC running, even though it wasn’t on. I had to sleep with earplugs, and even then, the sound had such a weird tone that I could still hear it. If I stay longer next time, I’ll definitely try to get this resolved.

The view of the city was one, of if not the best thing about our room. Second was the bath tub and it was a main deciding factor for the room. Our room had enough space for two and was well equipped with water, snacks, a Nespresso coffee machine and pods — even an umbrella for if it rained and we needed one. The pancakes at Dirty French were the best that I’ve had in my life.

Location Clean Decor

No lighting in lounge area or rooms to make it easy to read . But it was lovely mood lighting . Food from restaurant I only ate 3x and very salty

great location and decor, really nice, helpful front desk (great food suggestions); nice gym, lounge; great robes and slippers. umbrella in the closet a nice touch

bartenders and servers in lounge not as friendly compared to front desk; martinis not great; room and bathroom were very well appointed but both needed more storage-drawers or shelves could be added in space allotted. water pressure could be better and a water from shower leaks outside no matter how careful you are. finally, too expensive for

Everything. Was so beautiful that I proposed in our Loft (Suite) Room! Amazing views, service excellent (and relaxed, not stiff)

everyone was very kind and the entire hotel was clean and put together

a little pricy but i’d rather splurge on location and cleanliness

Great location and atmosphere

No dresser in room.

Location is fantastic,staff were fantastic went out of their way to help any way they could

Unfortunately the bed was very squeaky

Location is perfect for LES hipness and great restaurants.

NO REAL NIGHTSTANDS in our room #502 was a real problem. Could not place waters , phone, remote, etc… on a nightstand. Strongly suggest you get this sorted for the price of the rooms.

Great vibe and location

Great location, friendly and helpful staff,

It was a beautiful room with a great view. For such a small space they utlised well as well. We were delighted when the room was available for early check in as we'd caught a red eye and were exhausted!

There were a lot of expensive things filling up the space that we could buy but took up most of the bedside table. It is expensive but NYC is generally so we were happy with the price. No plant based options on the menu was a real shame.

Beautifully appointed, super comfortable, amazing views, quiet and amazing location.

Very nice bar and restaurant areas. Very relaxed welcoming vibe. Incredibly comfortable bed.

Bathroom space very tight. Little storage space

Stunning rooms and views. Bathroom was phenomenal, would go back just for that. Comfy bed but location wise was abit out of the hustle and bustle if that is what you want in NYC.

Great Lobby. Great staff. High quality furnishings, linens, and toiletries.

Not much. I really like it. Rooms are small but I don't mind. They are elk thought out and nice.

Lovely communal space, lovely rooms

Limited bar/ lounge opening hours at night

We were getting civilly married in Manhattan and chose the Ludlow for its location, in walking distance to City Hall and close to some of the best parts of the LES. The facilities were fantastic and the service impeccable: They upgraded our High Floor Queen to a Skybox Loft and gifted us a bottle of prosecco. The rooftop is also stunning - we were able to take photos up there after our City Hall appointment. We ordered room service twice and the food was delicious. I would definitely go to the restaurant next time. Katz's and Russ & Daughters are on the corner - perfect for breakfast!

Literally had a perfect stay. No notes.

The staff in reception were very welcome and accommodating. We were staying for 4 nights and found our first room was too small and asked to change to larger one for an extra charge of course. Rooms in NY aren’t that big but although the Ludlow is beautifully designed we felt the standard room to be way too small. Not really much room to unpack so we didn’t bother. Breakfast was good. We both like different things to eat so it’s important to have the variation. We found most of the staff to be very cheerful.

There were one or two of the staff in the restaurant that we felt were a little on the sullen side but it’s possible they stood out by comparison to the ones who cheerful.

Ambience

Some very interesting types outside and especially in the evening which made going in and out of the hotel a bit sketchy

The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. The double room--two separate rooms with a hallway in between, with the bathroom located in the hallway--was perfect for our family of four. The only issue with the room is that you walk right into the tight queen bedroom, but the king room is quite spacious with a sitting area. We will definitely stay here again.

Everything was superb. The room with the bathroom exceeded my expectations! The staff was very helpful. I loved that they provide free bath salts and bath bubbles.

Very stylish decor Cool spot

Noisy

Bed was comfortable. Service was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. I was missing a toothbrush and they happily provided a dental kit.

It would have been nice to have a way to fix tea in the room. I do understand why they didn't (the room was very small), but it meant that I couldn't have a cup of tea when I rose at 5:30 a.m.

Stayed for the second time for our wedding and we’re lucky enough to chat to the lady with the amazing blow dry at the front desk who helped us upgrade to the most amazing room I’ve ever stayed in. You truly made our trip and sorry your colleague took the flowers! My favourite Manhattan hotel that I’ll always return to! Nothing is too much to ask, all basic amenities covered and more

Decoration , clean and the balcony w plants , I feel I was at home

The mattress and pillow too soft for me

Great location, very stylish rooms

Nothing we loved it

Perfect location for exploring the Lower East Side. Great shower/bath, ample space, and super comfy bed. Staff were welcoming and polite.

A minor point but the lifts/elevators can take a long time to arrive at your floor. Something to keep in mind if you're in a rush.

Our third visit to New York City and our third stay at the Ludlow do I need to say more? - The Location is a great starting point to explore NYC an feel the vibe of the Lower East Side. - The Staff is exceptional and always make us feel welcome and at home - The whole Hotel and also the Rooms have great design and are not your typical standard hotel flair - Balcony in NYC is always a Win ;)

It has the same NYC Issues that all Hotels in that Region have. Everything is rather small and of course it comes with a price.

Gorgeous decor. Delicious food. Helpful staff. Excellent location.

Great design, very comfortable, we loved everting about our stay!

Great hotel in the LES perfect for a few days’ stay in the big Apple. We loved how comfy the bed was and the shower was incredible. Amazing views both from the room and from the rooftop.

The room was fairly small. It is pricey but worth it for a special occasion.

Excellent vibe, outstanding staff.

Nothing.

I stayed at this hotel for my birthday and it was an unforgettable experience! The interior is beautiful, stylish, and thoughtfully designed, and the panoramic view of the city is simply breathtaking. There are so many pleasant little details that make the stay feel special, and the service is truly top-quality. The staff kindly allowed me a late check-out and surprised me with a lovely gift — champagne and sweets — which made my day even more memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, elegance, and a unique New York experience.

We enjoyed the general relaxed atmosphere of the hotel.

The street noise (4th floor) and the noise from the air conditioning were quite noticeable.

Everything was beyond expectation, it should definitely deserve a 10/10 on booking.com. I booked the room for my wife's birthday, and the front desk manager upgraded us to a suite on the 19th floor, with one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. And a complimentary Prosecco bottle. EVERYTHING was perfect, thoughtful, beautiful, classy. I don't know how I can thank you more. Definitely recommend it!

Great staff.Perfect location.I will be going back.

Closet space way too small. Too many chairs in the room.

The Hotel is beautiful and everyone is extremely nice.

There wasn't anyplace to put my toiletries bag, watch etc. I would minimize the merchandise to give clients more room. Also, a quilt would have been nice. The comforter was too hot.

nicely renovated rooms with fine details, lovely (although not filled with morning light) breakfast

a bit pricey, location is fine but clearly not as central as in would be ideal

Very charming, great location, very nice bar and lounge area. Beds were comfortable, nice towels, linens and bathrobes.

The bedside tables were too low and small. With the hotel phone on it there wasn’t room for much else.

Very nice vibe and lovely staff. Great communal sitting area.

Couple of things didn’t work in the room but quickly fixed
